PTA Funding<br />
Included in this mailing are two requests for monetary donations. First, your contribution<br />
to the new No Fuss Fundraiser (which replaced the magazine drive) provides<br />
funding for technology support <strong>and</strong> hardware, media center books, cultural arts programs<br />
<strong>and</strong> Writers-in-Residence, student academic activities <strong>and</strong> recognition, publication of the<br />
student newspaper <strong>and</strong> literary magazine, parent communications, student agendas, student<br />
directories, teacher supply money, special requests (mini-grants), character education<br />
receptions <strong>and</strong> other programs that enhance the quality of education at <strong>Martin</strong>. None of<br />
these programs would be possible without your donation <strong>and</strong> the generous time put in by<br />
many volunteers. We hope to reach our goal of $30,000 by Sept. 30 with this initial request<br />
so we do not have to hold additional fundraisers.<br />
Your support is greatly appreciated!!!<br />

<strong>Martin</strong>. Read all about it in the next article <strong>and</strong> be sure to sign up via the red form inserted<br />
